[dude12]

[Jdbraver137]

Yay, a wing!’

This is all I need to know:

Don’t forget the -20% percentage tax when traded to the Kings lol

 

[funkykingston]

Very solid pickup at a great price.

C Sabonis/Valanciunas/???
PF Murray/Lyles/Crowder
SF DeRozan/Larravia/McDermott
SG LaVine/Ellis/Carter
PG Monk/???/???

The Kings can sign Isaac Jones to an NBA deal and make him the 3rd string center, but that still leaves a big hole at backup PG.

And Larravia is more of a 4 than a 3, so a another forward wouldn't hurt either.

Still a few moves to make, likely post deadline.

 

[SacTownKid]

So he's unrestricted, but we will have Bird rights at least?

I can't see why they wouldn't. I'm sure if worst came to worst Monte could use his Bi-annual on him. Monte has that in his stash too! Super doubtful teams will be beating his door down but you never know.

CHAMPIONSHIP

My man. Love this new attitude!!!

 

[ESP47]

Great move! Gave up very little and got an efficient wing with some size and defense.

Just looking at his VORP from year to year.

-0.2
-0.1
+0.9

He's popping off this year via offensive efficiency and defense. This is just the type of look that we've been talking about @The_Jamal . He could easily be on a trajectory beyond just a solid rotational player.

 

[Tetsujin]

If last night truly was Lensanity’s last in Sacramento, he went out doing what he did best this season: tipping easily catchable rebounds to the other team and getting absolutely destroyed by younger, faster players on defense.

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

Young prospect, maybe has a chance to be better in 3 years. This is more the type of player I think we should be acquiring

 

[Makaveli]

Just saved another $855,532

 

[Tetsujin]

Just saved another $855,532

Means we’ve got the full MLE next summer as well.

Buyout $$$?

 

[Jdbraver137]

I think we are better than we were last week.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I don't know I'd rather have some guy named Sidy and also not have this guy and not have a top of the line backup center with a 7 foot 6 inch wingspan. Monte sucks. I really want our second round picks back man this sucks.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I can't see why they wouldn't. I'm sure if worst came to worst Monte could use his Bi-annual on him. Monte has that in his stash too! Super doubtful teams will be beating his door down but you never know.

Just seems like a nice piece for us so hope we can get more than a few months out of it.

I don’t know a thing about this dude. Is he a wing?

Ya I’ve never heard of him but apparently he’s a 3-D guy with elite shooting Memphis was stacked

WHY DIDN"T HE DO THIS WHEN FOX WAS HEREH>!M!@#?!?!@21211!

 

[Jdbraver137]

WHY DIDN"T HE DO THIS WHEN FOX WAS HEREH>!M!@#?!?!@21211!

Because Fox wanted $60M a year.

And now that Jake is on the Kings it will likely drop. Individual defensive ratings, pffft. He can still reliably play defense, that's a known fact so who cares.

 

[NewArena]

Hopefully Jonas is headed to Portland tonight

We still comparing individual defensive ratings from
Players on different teams?

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Because Fox was actually garbage and his attitude was garbage and he never wanted to be here long term, but you knew that!!!

 

[MizzouKing]

I guess we should be happy... the headline on my fantasy basketball app says it's a Smart deal!


Jake LaRavia sent to Kings as part of Smart deal
Today 2:09 PM | Rotoworld

Jake LaRavia has been traded to Sacramento in deal that will send Colby Jones, Alex Len and 2028 second-round pick to Memphis as part of the trade that sends Marcus Smart to Washington.

 

[The_Jamal]

Means we’ve got the full MLE next summer as well.

So that can't go to LaRavia?

I think Carter is your back-up point. But I am hoping we sign Ben Simmons as a back up point. We might be one of the few teams where he really would fit.

Especially comparing one of the worst to one of the best, lol.

You mean getting undervalued assets for cheap at positions of need with high upside? Nah, that's craaaaaaaazy.

YES BUT MONTEMCNOBALLS AND WES WILCUX NEVER GAVE HIM A CAM TO WIN

 

[Makaveli]

Buyout $$$?

No that’s the difference in jones and Len contract vs Jake’s
